What are the best fonts for numeric data entry?
fonts, numeric, user-interface
Solution
I'd probably go sans serif monospace.
What other fonts are you using for the rest of the application? If the answer is "Arial", "Arial Monospace" is probably the matching font for the numbers.
Problem
I'm creating a GUI application that requires the user to provide lots of numeric data. What is the best font to display the user's data? I assume that a mono-spaced font would be better in this case, as multiple lines will have the same number of characters.
